heavyweight bout between former UFC heavyweight champion Andre Arlovski and relative unknown Bellator veteran Mike Hayes is set to serve as the Fight Nights: "Battle of Moscow 9" main event on Dec. 16, 2012, in Moscow, Russia.

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski is ramping up for his first fight in Russia since 2000, according to the Belarusian's official Twitter account.

"The Pitbull will collide with Mike "300" Hayes at Fight Nights: "Battle of Moscow 9" on Dec. 16, 2012, in Moscow, Russia. And officials from the international mixed martial arts (MMA) organization confirmed that the heavyweight showdown is expected to serve as the main event of the evening.

Ultimately it would be great to see him back in the UFC, hell even as a gatekeeper, fighting guys like Russow, Meathead, Barry, and such.

I was hoping he'd step in and fight Nelson

Hayes is pretty tough but WAR AA ALL DAY.

I'm unsure of how Andrei will do against the UFC competition but the fact that this guy is such a fan favorite with so many supporters and is winning fights again should be enough to get him back into the UFC sometime soon.

Glad he is fighting on a regular as well....Bellator would be prime for him IMO....UFC would make him another CroCop I think.
